Exhibition Opening / SPACES OF THOUGHT – An Exhibition by Painter Károly Klimó

Klimó Károly (b. 1936) is one of the most consistent bearers of the intellectual legacy of the Hungarian Neo-Avant-Garde and the European School. His art combines the gestural language of Informel with the expressiveness of the Central European Neue Wilde, featuring a uniquely narrative, literary-inspired vision. His paintings, prints, collages, and assemblages move along the boundary between figuration and abstraction, while being imbued with melancholy, irony, and intellectual playfulness. For Klimó, the image is not merely a spectacle but a space for thought: following the works of Kafka, Artaud, Sade, or Thomas Bernhard, he explores the extremes of human existence. His precise compositions simultaneously evoke theatrical scenes and inner psychological landscapes. The exhibition offers a sensitive insight into a body of work where literature, philosophical reflection and painterly gesture form an inseparable unity.
